    Even during the week it is very crowded on the promenade and beach. Just go 1 km further and don't stay in Heiligendamm if you're looking for peace and quiet

      Something for every need: dog beach, sports beach, non-smoking beach, nudist beach and of course textile beach. In the area of the pier you can look for chicken gods and thunderbolts.

        The beach in Heiligendamm starts at the pier, from where you have a magnificent view of the spacious property of the Grand Hotel and the style-defining buildings of the White City on the sea. The wide, sandy beach runs in an easterly direction and drops slowly towards the Baltic Sea. This predestines him especially for families with children. Because of its good water quality, the beach is also awarded the "Blue Flag". Along the beach area runs a promenade. Beach chairs can be borrowed. Paid parking is available in the eastern area.

          it is best to park in the forest car park and still have the nice walk through the forest to the beach. Here, of course, you have a beautiful view over the water and the white houses of Heiligendamm

            The promenade offers the opportunity to stroll and from the pier, which extends 200 meters into the Baltic Sea, there is a beautiful view of the magnificent historical buildings. However, not all of the buildings have been renovated yet.

              The beach promenade in the Baltic Sea resort of Kühlungsborn is over three kilometers long and offers an unobstructed view of the sea along the Baltic Sea...

                Heiligendamm is considered a noble address on the Mecklenburg Baltic coast. The first German seaside resort impresses with historic buildings, a long beach with a pier and the Molli spa railway.

                "The white city by the sea" - this is what Heiligendamm is also called because of a row of white-painted historic houses on the beach. As early as 1793, Duke Friedrich Franz I of Mecklenburg-Schwerin had Heiligendamm founded as the first German seaside resort. To this day, the spa town, which lies in the middle of extensive beech forests, has a sophisticated image. This is also reflected in a luxury hotel that uses several of the historic buildings on a spacious site, including the spa house from 1816.

                  Like the many day visitors, you can enjoy the long, gently sloping beach, which stretches for several kilometers to the west to Kühlungsborn and east to Börgerende. The spa forest is also open to the public. A promenade offers the opportunity to stroll and from the pier, which protrudes 200 meters into the Baltic Sea, there is a beautiful view of the magnificent historical buildings. However, not all buildings have been renovated yet.

                    Heiligendamm and Börgerende are located in a lowland between two cliffs. The Conventer Niederung is a raised bog area that has remained intact due to regular flooding. A natural spit of washed up sand provided natural protection against flooding. The artificial protection only became relevant at all in 1793 with the establishment of the seaside resort and the onset of development. Until 1872, however, it could be neglected because the tides did not reach the buildings and the wooden structures on the beach and in the water could be replaced cheaply. There are, however, traditions that the “Holy Dam” was patched up at the end of the 17th century.

                      Beautiful promenade on the beach - you can walk very far here and enjoy the sea.

                        In 1793, Duke Friedrich Franz I of Mecklenburg-Schwerin bathed on the advice of his personal physician Prof. Dr. Samuel Gottlieb Vogel for the first time in the Baltic Sea at the "Holy Dam" and thus marked the birth of the first German seaside resort. The ducal personal physician recognized the beneficial effects of lake water against a number of diseases. For the seaside resort of Heiligendamm, there were also climatic advantages such as low-dust and humid Baltic Sea air, low temperature fluctuations, the lush beech forests all around, the absence of ebb and flow and the cultural significance of the nearby cathedral town of Bad Doberan.

                        From then on, Friedrich Franz I bathed in the soothing waters of the Baltic Sea every year and his well-heeled guests did the same. In the first few years in Doberan, the social center of the seaside resort, numerous representative buildings such as the lodging house, the salon building, the grand ducal palace and the theater were built within a very short time.
